Yesterday we noted that I, along with four-fifths of the residents of the fair city of Nottingham, don’t eat enough fruit and veg. Five portions of fruit and veg is the recommended minimum amount to eat, as agreed by the our government, the NHS, and the food standards agency (who also have the “Eatwell Plate” which suggests a healthy main meal should be 1/3rd vegetables, 1/3rd carbs like potatoes, pasta, rice, and the remaining third divided between meat, dairy and a very thin slice of fatty and sugary foods and drinks).

So, yesterday, I scared myself into eating more fruit and veg for one day only.  Today proved harder – there was an Unexpected Buffet at the end of an interview panel for a new Council director.  It was a very tasty buffet, with no fruit and veg.  So, lunchtime, wasted opportunity.  Teatime was benefitting from the Co-op’s BOGOF on pepperoni pizza, so we had half each, and P had broccoli and I, erm, didn’t. An apple for supper out of desperation and – oh, yes, OJ with breakfast – and that’s it.

Will have to try harder tomorrow. But to help keep me on the straight and narrow – here’s a technological solution! FoodFeed, twitter and a hashtag! What could possibly go wrong?
